Spootnik Bar

The room

An audiophile bar in the 3rd arrondissement.

Palladium Audio supplies Spootnik’s four-point basement installation: Sub Cardio 215C cardioid subwoofers, Cube 12 Diamant and Cube 8 Diamant main and fill speakers, and Cube 6 DJ monitors. The arrangement gives the main room and booth distinct roles. Cardioid subwoofer design can reduce bass radiation behind the array; it does not establish sound isolation to neighbouring properties.

About the sound system

How the system serves the room

Spootnik combines Palladium’s Sub Cardio 215C bass cabinets with Cube mains and fills in a four-point basement installation. Dedicated Cube 6 monitors serve the booth, keeping the selector’s monitoring task separate from audience coverage.

A cardioid bass design is intended to shape low-frequency radiation, while several audience positions can be addressed through the distributed upper-frequency speakers. The final result depends on orientation, delay and the basement boundaries; the cabinet designation alone cannot establish the amount of bass rejection achieved in the room.

Technical interpretation based on the documented equipment; selection motives and measured in-room performance are not confirmed.
